To all whom 'it ma/yconcefr .l v

`Be it known that- I, THOMAS LEWIS, of Malden, in the county ofMiddlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved VaginalInj action-Pipe to Syringes, of which the following is a full,clear,`and exact description, reference being had to the accom`" panyingdrawings, making partlof this specification, in which- A Figure l is aperspective View of the pipe.

Figure 2 is a sectional view of the pipe.

Figure 3, end view of the pipe, showing perforations.

This device has been suggested to me by the lack of syringes.

When using the common vaginal injection-pipes to syringes, the walls ofthe vagina hug so closely to the pipe as really to defeat the purposesto which the in- -jection is applied, for suicient room is not given toallow of any play to be given to the jets of fluid from theinjection-pipe; Iand when the pipe is within the v.perfect action in theordinary vaginal inj cation-pipes to vagina, the iiuid is continuallyescaping, without ac complishing the purpose of the injection, either inY cleansing the vagina or otherwise.

Now, my improved vaginal inj ection-jpipe, being made `in the shape itis, distends the walls of the vagina when inserted, and, as theperforations are located, allows a free play to the jets when forcedthrough the pipe into l the vagina, and the bulb so fills the vagina asto prevent the fluid from escapngas'fast as injected. Thus I succeed inobtaining the whole benefit which may result from a vaginal injection.

' In the drawings, which are made on an enlarged scale- A is the pipe.

of the points e d. This is to allow the bulbto disteud the walls ofthe-vagina, to give 'full force to the inidjets forced through theperforations.
